Determining and quantifying the historical traces of spatial land arrangements in rural landscapes of Central and Eastern Europe

Abstract The article attempts to define and determine the intangible components of cultural heritage related to the spatial structure of land in a comprehensive way using computational methods. The components were quantified and a method of empirical evaluation of landscape durability was proposed f...
